We cannot order Social Security numbers in any meaningful way. Some people have Social Security numbers that start with a higher number than others but there is no meaningful difference signified by this. So the Social Security number is a nominal level variable. Any time that you arbitrarily assign a person or another entity an identification number, the resulting variable will be nominal because the numbers d4o not signify anything important or meaningful. On the other hand, interval level variables are ordered.
What is a nominal account in accounting? Nominal accounts in accounting are the temporary accounts, such as the income statement accounts. In other words, nominal accounts are the accounts that report revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. (The owner's drawing account is also a temporary account, even though it is not an income statement account.) Nominal or temporary accounts are closed at the end of each accounting year. This means that their account balances are transferred to a permanent account. This closing process allows the nominal accounts to start the next accounting year with zero balances.
